John Baumgartner Jesus was always praying and seeking communion with His Father, and He has given us the same Spirit of adoption that we too cry out, “Abba! Father!” Prayer is the most natural act of the new creation we are in Christ, but also the most difficult for sinners. We are afraid to show our sins to God and instead try to hide from Him. We imagine that He would be angry to see us, but He is a God of infinite mercy and pity. He bids you come and welcomes you as your God and Father.

But the Jews who were not persuaded, becoming envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar . . . [1 hour 4 minutes]

the cares of the world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word and it becomes unfruitful. Hindrances like worldly worry, wealth-seeking, and the need for human glory block God's will from flowing naturally. Walking in the kingdom by faith—seeking first the Lord and treasuring His glory—unlocks the third-day blessing.

We've spent a lot of time in this series talking about how to hear the voice of the shepherd, which Jesus promised was a reality for his followers in John 10, but the reality is there are times we will miss it. Many people report they have a frustrating experience trying to hear God's voice. The Bible actually has a lot to say about why we might miss hearing God's voice, and it's a common enough experience that it's worth its own sermon. In this message, Pastor Joel walks through several stories in scripture where we see people struggling to hear God's voice, considering what we might learn from them. On the one hand, it might have to do with realities in the spiritual world outside of our control that we deal with as we open ourselves up to the spiritual world and listen to the voice of a spiritual being. And on the other hand, sometimes it's “user error,” issues with our lives or hearts that crowd out the voice of God finding its way to us. The good news is that Jesus has made it so we never have to fear God has shut us out from him for good if we earnestly seek him.

H.E. Metropolitan Youssef explores the theme of repentance through three biblical examples: the prodigal son, the Samaritan woman, and the paralytic man. He explains how each figure represents different attitudes toward sin—those who stray but repent after suffering consequences, those who repeat sin out of ignorance, and those who knowingly continue in sin despite understanding God's commandments. Metropolitan Youssef discusses common hindrances to repentance, including denial of judgment, reliance on personal strength instead of God's grace, exposure to temptation, lack of seriousness in spiritual warfare, making excuses, and attachment to certain sins. He emphasizes the importance of accessing the grace of God through prayer, fasting, confession, and a committed spiritual rule. Encouraging self-examination and reliance on the support of the saints and God's grace, Metropolitan Youssef calls believers to arise from the "bed" of sin, repent sincerely, and walk in the footsteps of Christ for eternal inheritance.

Reflection and Practice Cultivate concentration this week by first preparing the “soil.” Notice the presence of the hindrances and work with them or through them. Once the hindrances recede, cultivate concentration through relaxation and reception instead of striving and pushing. Focus on the clear seeing that concentration allows, staying the course through the waves of resistance. In a direct, immediate way, see something that reorders you and your life. This recording was edited and prepared for publication by volunteer John Stott.
